DOWN ON HIGH LICENSE.


Sam Small preached q characteristic
sermon yesterday morning Oh Con
science" at the Red Rock camp meet
ing. He worked in a roast" on re-
porter as usual, and touched up the
high-license brethren and sisters in
vigorous style.
Il thank God that feel happy and at
peace with all the world this morning."
said he. Joy and peace have for hours
surrounded me as u refreshing atinOS-
pheCe. | found when L got down ON
my knees last night | couldn't say God
forgive me- until l had forgiven every
person for everything done or imagined
done tome. l forgive and did fully and
freely forgive that reporter who WIose
in Yesterdays paper: The evangelist
begins his work by using slang and
abusing everybody If he can stand it
l can"
He then w0und his arms around one
of the pillars supporting the roof
of the pavilion and, pointing his
long, boIy finger at prom
nTent advocate of high license, began
to-pouf hot shot into the measure and
its advocates.
Are you willing to go before God
With conscience permitting liquor to
be sold in Minnesota for a license fee?'
said he. a man may sit IN the front
seat, the bsc!l seat, or the amen corner,
but if his. conscience is conserving to
the public conscience that permits
liquor TO be sold fOy revenue, he Is as
bad as the HiaD who sells the dannable
stuff Some of you help to make up the
public conscience OF st. Paul, where
open gambling dens are allowed to run
fCE money, and where
as well aS open saloons, can be found
any Sunday If you are, why don't you
stop it? It is either because the aggre-
gate conscience OF the people of st.
Paul Is defilei and low, or because it is
too c0WarGly to assert itself. Mime
sOEa is an enlightened, civilized and
Christian state, and yet you allowed
your last legislature to block
the Whole cause Of prohibition
the most dalanable compromise with
the devil ever invented. The high Ii
cease law, permitting the traffic TO go on
foE money. Better would it be for the
state to be bankrupt and go back to a
territory than to flourish OH such
money. It is a compromise on high
ground foq big money. 1t SQueeZeS off
Il few poor devils and gives monopoly
U the liquor traffic 10 few who can
well afford to pay the price. This is
the whole, logic OF high license. You
aTe stopping drinking at a great rate,
amt you? Was talking to big headed
senator vino helped to pass that law,
and he pEided himself on how cutely
the temperance forces had been di-
videa. Set free as many c0nVictS from
Saltwater as you have senators and
representatives and give them fmmun-
itg f0r a year and they could not do as
much damage as the saloon. Why had
rather vote fCF Saltwater convict for
the legislature than for high license
minister. L know whereof | speak, and
mag God give me pewer TO arouse the
coslscienceS of men on this question"
IN PIE EVENING.
Mr.. SIltlFS- text for the evening was
Isaiah XII, 10. ''1n thas day there shall
be root OF Jesse. which stand for an
ensign of the public" An ensign is
the symbol OF a nation and means all
that the nation means. The affection
entertained for our grand old flag is
something wonderful. An illustration
OF this was shown when it was pro-
posed to reSurn those rebel flags a few
days ago. And just here let NE say L do
NOS believe the South wants those flags
returned Whats was it that kept
Georgia from being made up of Swill-
tub legislators, who would barter with
the liquor traffic and the devil? How |
do pity that man who is better Repub-
lican or Democrat than he is q Christian.
There are men who will give $50 to the
campaign fund this fall and wont give
S in five years to the church, and these
same1nen will kick over paying 10 Genus
at this gate to get in.
